Only FOUR Westerns have ever taken home an Oscar for Best Picture in 94 YEARS (and the small list includes one directed by Yellowstone's Kevin Costner!) but can you name them all?
The 96th Academy Awards honors the best films of 2023 - with the glittering ceremony due to be held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday.
Yellowstone's Kevin Costner famously beat Goodfellas (directed by Martin Scorsese) to Best Picture with his directorial debut - Dances With Wolves in 1990 - while 1931's Cimarron starring Richard Dix and Irene Dunn was the first Western to ever win in the category. Cimarron, starring Richard Dix and Irene Dunne and directed by Wesley Ruggles won Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay (written by Howard Estabrook and based on Edna Ferber's 1930 novel), and Best Production Design for Max Rée.
